Question by flowythekid · Jun 02, 2013 at 03:52 PM · beginnerloopfor-loopwhile

Beginner: Box moving up and down. Loop?

Hey guys, I have a basic box moving up and down and I can't figure out how I will get it to work. Am trying on that for days now. It rotates and it moves up but I just want it to move up x-units and then move down in an endless loop. A gravitating platform like in old jump and runs etc.

Thanks in advance!

The code I have so far is here:

 var rotateSpeed : float = 10;
 var moveUpSpeed : float = 5;
 
 function Update() 
 {
 transform.Rotate(0, rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0);
 transform.Translate(0, moveUpSpeed * Time.deltaTime * 0.2, 0);
 }

 var rotateSpeed : float = 10;
 var moveUpSpeed : float = 5;
 var distance : float = 0.0;
 var maxDistance : float = 100.0;
 var direction : Vector3 = Transform.up;
 
 transform.Translate(0, moveUpSpeed * Time.deltaTime * 0.2, 0);
 
 function Update() 
 {
     if(distance>=maxDistance){
         distance=0;
         direction*= -1;
     }
     var movement : float = moveUpSpeed * Time.deltaTime * 0.2 * direction;
     transform.Translate(movement);
     distance+=movement;
 }

Loop occurs after the object moves 100 of distance
